# PUT Cancel the Billing Plan for a Client Account

`PUT /partner/accounts/{encoded_account_id}/status/cancel`

Use this PUT method to cancel a client's Constant Contact account. If the specified client account or technology partner account does not exist, the system returns a 404 error response. If the client account exists under a different technology partner account, the system returns a 400 error response.


  To get a list of all canceled client accounts (`"billing_status": "Canceled"`), make a `GET` call to the `/partner/accounts` endpoint.

  Only technology partners can access partner endpoints and partner endpoints cannot be tested using the API reference tester.

  For more use case information, see [Cancel the Billing Plan for a Client Account](/api_guide/partners_plans_cancel.html) in the API guide."
